Where in Britain is the mountain known as Whernside?

Whernside is a mountain in the Yorkshire Dales in Northern England. It is the highest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, the other two being Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent. It is the highest point in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire and the historic West Riding of Yorkshire with the summit lying on the county border with Cumbria.

In shape Whernside forms a long ridge, running roughly north-north-east to south-south-west. The mountain is 6.2 miles (10 km) north west of Ingleton and 6.2 miles (10 km) north of Horton-in-Ribblesdale.

On a clear day the views from the summit to the west can be spectacular, with views of the Lake District and Morecambe Bay, including (with the aid of binoculars) Blackpool Tower, some 40 miles (64 km) away. Whernside lies about 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Ribblehead Viaduct on the Settle–Carlisle Railway.
